Wield the Custom Axe of Patrick Kennison
From the frontlines of Ozzfest with his band The Union Underground to his studio work Rob Zombie, Heaven Below, and production for Nikki Stringfield’s debut album, Apocrypha, the heavy metal prowess of Patrick Kennison is absolute. And his Schecter E-1-FR Apocrypha signature generates equal intensity! The seriously sturdy build of its mahogany body and maple/carbon neck combo anchor down this axe for relentless metalwork from head to toe, from unforgiving chugs and chording to powerful solos, bends, and dives. With Schecter’s proprietary USA NS-1 humbucker at the bridge and a single volume control, this signature 6-string unleashes a wide, aggressive, and heavy tone with unparalleled attack. Intonated with an FU2 tremolo/nut combo and topped with a mesmerizing inlay pattern and stunning satin finish, the Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature comes primed for playability with the looks to match.
Archetypal heavy-metal canvas
With an undeniably solid and stable feel, the Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature makes a welcome build for all heavy-handed players. With a dense mahogany body cut to Schecter’s sharp and rebellious E-1-FR blueprint, this guitar already promotes incredible command while slung over your shoulder. Factor in its 3-piece neck of maple, engineered with dual carbon rods and shaved to a maneuverable thin-“C” profile, and this axe really settles into the hands of metalheads with confidence. To boot, a well-sustaining ebony fingerboard lined with 24 stainless steel frets provides a wide-open avenue for raucous roving.
Powerful USA NS-1 humbucker
The solitary pickup armed at the bridge of the Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature is actually the Schecter USA NS-1 signature model of his Apocrypha accomplice, Nikki Stringfield. And though it may stand alone, this pickup certainly has a lot to say! Designed for destruction, this humbucker offers an explosive attack with a bright, full, and scorching presence that’ll never go unnoticed in studio or live mixes. Thanks to its sole volume control, a bit of leveling is all you’ll need to dial in the perfect dual-coil dosage for the track at hand. From definitive opening riffs and heavy beat drops to momentous chording and unapologetic lead lines, this is the humbucker for the job.
Locked-down dependability
An axe built for such powerful playability requires the proper hardware to accommodate, and Schecter delivered in full force. The Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature boasts steadfast FU2 hardware, starting with its ultra-secure and titanium insert-equipped tremolo that permits doubt-free diving at a moment’s notice. At the other end, the FU2 locking nut supplies an equal anchoring backed by a lineup of 6-in-line Grover tuning machines for maintaining flawless intonation, no matter the circumstance. You can bet the Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature is excellent for studio tracking and spotlight solos alike!
A look like no other
What’s a killer custom axe without a unique look to go with? Patrick Kennison’s Apocrypha signature is absolutely dripping with style from top to bottom, and its cloudy, marbly Red Reign top finish is an immediate attention grabber. The next detail you’ll notice is Patrick’s intricately customized fingerboard inlay pattern — this serpent-like pearloid skeleton spans the latter 12 of its 24 frets. Meanwhile, luminlay side dots give off a pro-stage glow up and down the length of the neck. Complemented by black hardware, black binding, and a dark natural mahogany back and side stain finish, the Patrick Kennison Apocrypha signature poses the perfect amount of screaming detail and subtle accenting.
